#2Suitsupply sells canvassed suits in Italian fabrics with made-to-measure and on-site alterations, making it the practical benchmark for fit.

A suit is a jacket and trouser cut from the same cloth and sold to be worn together. A coordinated casual set shares a look but not that construction. Examples include an overshirt with matching fatigues, or a workwear jacket with denim. Some labels on this list are stronger at sets. Before you commit, confirm that both pieces exist in the same fabric and can be bought together.
Suitsupply is the most practical starting point. It sells canvassed suits in Italian-milled fabrics and runs a Custom Made programme. Its roughly 150 stores keep tailors on site, so alterations can be done in one visit.
Hickey Freeman also makes canvassed suits, but for classic business dressing. Authentic Brands Group owns the name, and Peerless Clothing has produced its suits under licence since 2023.
Tiger of Sweden sells slim single- and double-breasted suits plus mix-and-match separates. HUGO offers slim tailoring below BOSS prices. At the top end:
Giorgio Armani and Emporio Armani work in soft, unstructured tailoring. The founder died in September 2025, and the Giorgio Armani Foundation retains control. Acne Studios leans oversized and COS leans architectural. A Kind of Guise and Dries Van Noten both do relaxed tailoring, with Dries layering prints over loose suiting.
Maison Margiela, now under Glenn Martens, deconstructs its pieces. Off-White pairs streetwear silhouettes with runway tailoring. It has been owned by Bluestar Alliance since September 2024, and creative director Ib Kamara left in August 2026 with no successor named. Comme des Garçons works through unconventional pattern-cutting and volume, so check individual pieces for a matching trouser.
Four labels are here for the casual end:
Our verified data doesn't show a matching suit from these four. Treat them as set or separates options and check current availability. ASOS is a multi-brand online retailer with its own labels, such as ASOS Design, rather than a single label.
Price tiers by brand:
Compare the combined jacket-and-trouser price, not just the jacket. Then check:
A suit is a jacket and trouser in the same cloth, designed and sold to be worn together. A casual set, such as an overshirt with matching trousers, shares a fabric or colour but not tailored jacket construction. Both work for a relaxed look, but only the first is a suit.
HUGO and COS sit at mid prices. HUGO offers slim tailoring and COS offers architectural tailoring. Suitsupply is mid-to-high but prices Italian-fabric canvassed suits below traditional designer labels and includes on-site alterations. ASOS is a retailer whose own labels sit at the lower end.
